Sewon.

What time is it?

You can sleep some more.

Where's Doyoon?

He's gone.

Huh?

Can you look for him?

There you are!

Is that fun?

Careful!

We got you now!

Doyoon.

Mika looks upset we're having fun without her.

Mika!

Mika!

Looks like Doyoon is going outside.

Jaeyi.

Doyoon is going out the gate.

Doyoon!

Don't go after him. Stay here.

Doyoon just left though...

Why won't you...

- Jaeyi... - listen!

Why is it so hard for you to just listen?

Doyoon is out there all alone!

And it's better that way!

The farther away he is from you, the better! You hear me?

Jaeyi...

Jaeyi.

What's the matter? Huh?

Honey.

Please...

Find our Doyoon.

Jaeyi!

Brain sync attempt.

LIA, 6.9 hertz. Stimulation interval, 2.1 seconds.

Brain sync was successful for a brief moment.

Sync aborted due to a seizure in the subject's temporal lobe.

The memories accessed were...

It's better that way!

They felt like dreams or fantasies.

Perhaps they were hallucinations reflecting Jaeyi's psyche.

Most probably because the brain waves of the living

are much more difficult to control and interpret than those of the dead.

Executing a brain sync with the living is most unstable...

...and dangerous.

Until I can find a solution...

No more attempts will be made.

Don't you worry.

I promise to find Doyoon another way.

DR. BRAIN

Yes?

Hey, I was just worried because you're not at work.

- How are you feeling? - I'm fine.

I'm just staying home today.

Really? All right.

Let me know immediately if you feel weird or--

I'll call you later.

Oh...

Oh, you're home?

Did something happen to Jaeyi?

No, I just wanted to work from home today. That's all.

Oh, I see. I'll be downstairs then.

You have some explaining to do.

Why wouldn't you tell us that your wife tried to commit suicide?

Is it a problem if I don't share my personal business with you?

It is when you're clearly doing it to avoid suspicion.

Why would I purposefully incriminate myself?

Your wife attempted suicide. And a man she was close to was murdered.

And her husband is still trying to hide something.

I have to say, this reminds me of Occam's razor.

The theory states that the easiest explanation is the most likely.

A husband knew his wife was cheating, so--

So of course, I must have killed my wife out of jealousy.

And naturally, her lover as well.

I think you brought your wife home

to finish the job you set out to do in the first place.

That's a good point.

So see for yourself.

If I wanted my wife dead...

then why would I bother doing this?

I don't know why you're keeping your wife like this, but...

This doesn't mean you're free of suspicion.

You're still a suspect for murdering Junki Lim.

We'll be back.

Mika!

Mika!

Hey, kid! Kid!

Heejin!

Heejin, don't go in there.

Heejin, come here.

The brain sync with Jaeyi wasn't a complete failure.

Traces of her memory are clear.

The little girl I saw...

came to our house with Junki Lim.

1. LIM AND JAEYI WERE CLOSE.

Heejin?

I think Heejin is Junki Lim's daughter.

I have to find this girl who saw Doyoon.

Can't say I expected you to call.

Why did Junki Lim tell you to look into me?

He was under the impression that you killed your wife.

By the way, did you kill my client too?

I had absolutely no clue who Junki Lim was until I met you.

All right, relax...

So then, tell me why I'm here.

My wife and that man...

How did they meet exactly?

The info I gave you earlier was for free.

If you want more, you'll have to hire me.

If I do...

will you find out what was really going on between those two?

Come on. That's what I do.

All right, fine. You're hired.

They met at this special clinic

for children with issues, who have trouble communicating.

A special clinic for children?

Daddy!

Daddy!

Heejin.

Hey, say hello. This is Jaeyi and Doyoon.

- Hello, nice to meet you. - Hello there.

Hi.

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!

Doyoon, are you ready?

I told her not to take Doyoon there.

Not as obedient as you thought she was, huh?

Let's take a walk.

Where is Heejin now?

You don't know Lim, but you know his kid's name?

It's a long story.

Do you know where she might be?

No.

I assume she's with a relative now that her father's dead.

What's so important about her?

I think she knows something about my son.

The one who died in that fire?

Just how much do you know about me?

And how do you know about that?

It's my job to know things, all right?

Let's go to Junki's house.

Go straight, turn right at the intersection,

and keep going.

You'll see a white wooden house.

That's Lim's house.

What exactly do you need to find out about your son?

Was there anything strange about his death?

Or...

do you have regrets about anything?

Something you wish you hadn't done?

Regret is...

...a futile emotion.

Can any father-son relationship be without regrets?

I lost touch with my father a very long time ago.

Turns out the things we fought about then really didn't matter.

I don't want to hear it.

I don't need to know about your personal life.

Yeah...

We're gonna get along just fine.

What the hell? How'd you know the code?

What's wrong?

Hey! You all right?

Abdomen, solar plexus, and here at the neck.

The fatal blow must have been to the neck.

Sure looks that way, but take a look.

This stab here is what killed him instantly.

It pierced through his liver, stomach, and aorta into the lumbar vertebrae.

He would've been instantly paralyzed.

But they also stabbed the neck then went for the chest too...

...eliminating any chance of survival.

What did they use?

It's no ordinary weapon, that's for sure.

These knives are about twenty-two centimeters long.

And the killer was an expert at handling these knives.

Three perfect strikes.

Your killer is skillful.

So a professional hit?

Or maybe it was a doctor with serious medical knowledge?

Is your main suspect a doctor then?

Well, then here's something even more surprising.

If this here is film noir,

then this part is mystery.

Take a look at this.

You see this hole?

Huh?

This hole was made long after he died.

What's bizarre here,

is that this was an extremely delicate procedure.

It was done with great care on a person who was long dead.

So, that's my story.

So you're saying...

Lim's memories are somehow now inside your head?

And Lim's daughter, Heejin, told you your son's still alive?

Something like that.

Do you do drugs?

Forget that brain sync bullshit.

They're more likely to believe that you killed Lim,

seeing as you knew the code to his house.

I knew you wouldn't believe me.

Listen, Dr. Koh.

It doesn't matter what I believe or not.

If what you say is true, why are we here?

If you have Lim and Jaeyi's memories,

you should know how it all went down, isn't that right?

Memories can't be controlled like that.

It's nothing like recalling the past or trying to remember a phone number.

All these different memories are tangled up in my head now.

I can't really tell them apart just yet.

So you have the memories, but you can't control them yet?

- Right. - I see.

Okay, let's say that's true.

What can help you recall the info you need?

I'm not sure. Not yet.

But I believe that certain places, objects, and smells or touch...

...all seem to intensify the memories.

Like what just happened.

How about we scan your brain then, Doc?

Pause it.

This is just getting spooky now.

This kind of behavior isn't bold. It's insane.

We met him that day.

He denied ever knowing Lim, but then came straight here?

What a total psycho.

This guy is seriously dangerous.

Where do we go to ask about this kid?

What's this?

Did that girl draw all this?

She's an extremely rare case.

Born near genius, but has developmental issues.

It's Mika. Doyoon's cat.

Yeah.

You have to take care of Mika from now on.

Why?

Well...

Doyoon isn't with us. Not anymore.

Where is he then?

He lives in heaven now.

But Doyoon's not dead.

I saw him this morning.

- Huh? - Heejin...

- Heejin, what did you say? - Jaeyi.

Heejin sometimes talks about things

that she imagined or dreamed as if they were real.

She doesn't understand the concept of death yet.

So, Heejin...

Where did you see him? Tell me.

Did you see something again?

I want to put Mika in my treasure box.

Ah, that's going to be tricky.

Mika is a living, breathing creature. Mika needs water and sunlight.

"Grandma"?

FROM: PYEONGTAEK-SI MIJAN-MYEON 54-GIL 61914

There's an address.

Good evening.

What are you doing?

What is it?

There's a dead cat.

Mika?

It's my son's cat.

Looks like it got hit by a car.

Rigor mortis hasn't set in yet.

And her body's still warm.

What is it?

Are you burying it?

I'm going to brain sync with her.

What?

You can't be serious.

You want to do what with that dead cat?

I think she might have seen the killer.

Or more importantly, she could've seen what happened to my son.

I really think we're better off checking out the grandma's house.

No.

I'm syncing with Mika.

If we wait too long to synchronize, her neurons will be too deteriorated.

You must be Heejin.

You should get out here. They don't let outsiders in the lab.

No point in wasting more time then.

I'll go visit the grandmother.

No, I'm gonna go see her.

Can't you trust me?

I have something important to ask her.

Fine. I'm not really sure I trust you either.

I'll reach out to my informant about Lim's autopsy, all right?

- He might tell me something useful. - Fine.

Let's talk tomorrow, around...

Wait, when did this piece of junk die?

Anyway, I'll be in touch.

Are you really doing a brain sync with that cat?

Yes.

I'm sure she saw something.

You're most definitely off your rocker.

- Mika. - Mika!

Good girl.

Sewon!

Sewon!

Are you okay?

- What time is it? - About 7:30.

Sewon, what happened?

Over there.

Mika, the cat...

Oh my God!

Can you put her in the freezer...

And clean this place up for me?

Wait a minute...

It wasn't a human perspective...

54-GIL, MIJAN-MYEON, PYEONGTAEK CITY

Since feline visual fields are different,

I saw strange and indistinguishable phenomena

and heard sharp noises.

I think I saw someone attacking Junki Lim, but...

I couldn't identify him.

Excuse me, what happened?

Why? Are you a journalist?

No, I'm not.

I was just passing by and stopped to admire the view.

Oh.

They say that the old woman who lives here,

her son and her granddaughter from Seoul, all just vanished.

Goodness, can you imagine how shocked her husband must've been

when he saw that the house was ransacked?

- At least the cops came immediately. - Yeah.

They've been searching all night but can't find any clues.

How can something like this happen?

That family must be cursed. Her son-in-law died a little while ago.

Stop it!

Anyway, there isn't much to see around here.

But if you go down that way, you'll see a creek and a temple.

Thanks.

My goodness...

I hope nothing serious happened.

The child has gone missing.

Terrible things keep happening.

Where did the girl disappear to?

I don't know what to do anymore.

- Wow! - Nice catch!

- Did you see that? - Wow!

Dynamic visual acuity!

Hey! Sir, over here!

Sir, can you throw us the ball?

This is feline vision.

Have feline traits been transferred to me, just like Lim's?

Oh, goodness!

2046.

05 NA 2046

- Yes? - This is Sewon Koh.

Dr. Koh?

I need a favor.

Could you run a license plate for me?

Dr. Koh, if you have something to say, come into the station.

I know that Lim's daughter, Heejin, and her whole family have disappeared.

How do you know that?

I was just at her grandmother's house.

If you agree to help me,

then there's a chance I might be able to find her.

You have to run the license plate.

I think I saw that same car.

It was in front of the house when Lim was killed.

05 NA 2046.

Please.

So what if Dr. Koh is also responsible for Heejin's disappearance?

It's quite possible.

But why is he asking me for a favor then?

What could he be up to?

KANGMU LEE POLICE ACADEMY GRADUATE

HOMICIDE POLICE DETECTIVE BECOMES A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR

What the hell?

LIEUTENANT JIUN CHOI

Yes?

Dr. Koh, this is Lieutenant Choi.

We found the owner of the car you were talking about.

The name is Kangmu Lee.

He's an ex-cop turned private investigator.

Do you know him?

Are you saying Lim's killer is...

Kangmu Lee?

That's impossible.

What are you talking about?

Kangmu Lee has been dead for four days now.

He died before Lim was killed.

That car was scrapped the day we found him dead.

Are you there?

Dr. Koh?

Hold on.

I have to call you back.

Who is it?

It's Kangmu Lee.
